[Electronics-Talk] Braille watch alternatives

Fri Oct 26 00:25:26 UTC 2018

One nice thing about the Tissot is that there are no exposed parts and 
you never have to lift the crystal or expose any parts at all. This is 
why I think it should pretty much last forever. It's an expensive, 
heavy, nice looking watch, so I wear it when I dress up. It's also 
rugged, so I also wear it when I go kayaking.
